Preparing tap timers for winter
Both units I bought started leaking at the tap connection in installation. No amount of tightened solved the issue. Tried different washers etc but found that the captive plastic collar that you screw on to the tap distorts under pressure and the leaks cannot be prevented. The collar needs to be stronger and the way it seals against the body of the unit needs review. The attached pic shows how the collar is now distorted.
I purchased a single and double watering system just over 2 years ago. It worked perfectly up until I was required to replace my Telstra Modum. Since then it was been extrement difficult to login to the internet and when I do so is looses the link in about 30min. Holman acknowledges the fruit so need them to put out an update.
Battery compartment requires prying to get it out, not just a simple pull open job. Schedule leaves a lot to be desired. Very hard to set/ IE: adjusting time requires up down movement, which may trigger movement of entire section rather than changing time!! No obvious start button after adjusting time!
Very happy with the BX1. Quite easy to use with the app, and really appreciate the battery level indicator. When I had a question about the product, I had a very helpful response from a real person in the customer service team.
After purchasing the blue tooth tap timer I could not have been happier, such a simple operation to use, fantastic product, fantastic price and lawn loves it ❤️
Hi Mark,
Thank you for those kind words, we're glad you love your BX1 Have a great weekend, The Holman Team
Have been pretty happy with these timers.
Have not found any fault with them.
Gave used for 8 months now, love having a battery indicator, huge flexibility in timing schedules and manual run time. Haven't had a problem with them so far
Still trying to get this thing to actually work (without success)
Recurring issue where the the timer seems to froze and lost bluetooth connectivity, resulting in the tap being left open. The only way for the timer to be responsive again is to open and reinsert the battery cartridge. This had happened a few times now. This timer cannot be trusted as a left-alone timer. Probably useful if you are at home and always keeps an eye on it.
Extremely extremely frustrating as water has been wasted.
And also, opening the battery cartridge means having to unscrew the pipe as it is a stupid design - see photos.
Take full control of your garden watering and lighting with a Bluetooth® connection and a tap of your iPhone or Android. Our BX1 Tap Timer is built for the iGardener™ smartphone app!
